In India there are lot of things that people do unknowingly in name of religion,customs,traditions. But all those things have importance from health view point. One of them is wearing black thread on waist. We all must have heard that wearing black thread around neck , upper arm , ankle, wrist and waist protect from evil eyes. But it is not so. It has importance in terms of our health. As we all know that people in earlier years wear not so educated as of now,they never understood science behind such things. So if they were made to do things like wearing jewellery, tying kalava on wrist , etc in name of religion,customs,traditions they would easily accept doing such things. But people now a days are much more educated then their forefathers, and in todays world people accept to do anything if we tell them that there is scientific reason behind it. But people today inspite of being educated don't even try to understand reason behind any such things. Now we will talk about importance of tying black thread on waist from health view point.
1.) Black thread on waist helps to keep weight and waist size under control by improving digestion. When we wear a thread on waist and if that thread becomes loose that means we have lost weight and if it becomes tight that means we must have gained weight.
2.) It helps avoid or reduce potbelly, by increasing metabolism in waist area. So its better and cheaper than sauna belts which may have some adverse effect on our health. Due to increase in metabolism we get relief from imbalance in vatta, pitta and kaph.
3.) Most of diseases occur when body retains any thing in excess. This excess occurs when there is improper elimination of toxins in long run . Problem of improper elimination rises when on is not fit. Center of fitness in any ones body is the waist. If waist area is not tight then we loose our fitness and suffer from improper elimination. We eliminate in different ways like farting,pooping, urinating, sweating,etc. And when the elimination process is not proper retention of such things occur which later converts into toxins,making the blood impure, and when this impure blood circulates in whole body passing through different organs it gives rise to disease like heart attack , blood pressure , diabetes, cholesterol , clots , impotence or infertility ,etc. Black thread on waist helps in proper elimination. It improves intestinal strength thereby improving digestion and makes bowel movement proper and easier. It also improves kidney and bladder functions.
4.) We all know what hernia is. When intestines hang loose hernia occurs. Black thread on waist protects from hernia.
5.) Black thread on waist improves spinal health by providing support to the area of lumbar spine. Black thread on waist keeps problems like lower back pain, spinal problems, slip disc, etc under check by retaining the spinal fluid.
6.) It helps in keeping diet under control. Many of us have tendency to eat more than our hunger. And at such times people loosen up their belts and eat even more and end up with indigestion, gas and acidity , reflux, etc. When we wear black thread around waist and eat more than required quantity we may feel tightness near waist . This is an indication that our stomach is full and we must stop eating now. And gradually over a period of time we improve our eating habits.When we wear black thread around waist then in such cases we have no chance to loosen it up just like belt as they are worn under clothes.
7.) Black thread on waist helps improve fertility. As black is a cold colour and keeps the things contracted, it keeps the region near waist and reproductive organs cool and contracted. Now a days it has become a trend to wear low waist underwear, pants jeans , pjs, etc which do not provide proper support to the waist which gives rise to problems that do not arise on wearing a waist thread. Now u must be thinking that what's the need of wearing a waist thread when we wear pant with belts on ?? When we go to toilet we remove our pants and tightness of waist becomes loose, when we shower or change clothes we are completely naked and again at such times we loose fitness around waist. As per Indian mythology it is said that one must never remain nude from birth till death. Logically thinking its not possible. But if we wear a waist thread and jewellery the effect of nudity on body gets nullified.Waist thread must be of black colour, sometimes in certain red is also used. Because black colour keeps body cool and keeps the things contracted. As we all know that heat must not increase in the area near waist and reproductive organs and to keep muscles of that area contracted always use black thread. Red is used when the things are extremely contracted and needs to be loosened up. People who suffer from hernia are also using hernia support underwear.
